Features

Advantech SQFlash is designed for all kinds of industrial applications with the most advanced technologies and strictest production process to achieve the best industrial reliability and quality.

Fragment Writing Technology

Writing and erasing is always a bottleneck in SSD operation in terms of endurance and performance. It is also a key issue when developing SSD technology and algorithms such as wear-leveling and TRIM. Fragment Writing is a technology to further increase the efficiency of block usage in Flash ICs which can reduce the frequency of writing/erasing so that endurance and performance will dramatically improve.

Guaranteed Flush Technology

Modern SSD tend to utilize DRAM as cache media for better performance, but DRAM is volatile memory that requires power to maintain stored information. This raises a common concern about data integrity for potential SSD adopters. GuaranteedFlush technology was developed to ensure host data is completely and safely stored in Flash IC; preventing unexpected data loss from power failures

Power Failure Protection

Power failure is a common cause of system crashes and the root cause is mostly recognized as data loss. In most cases, data is actually not missing, but becomes inaccessible due to uncompleted programing since power failure. Every NAND Flash controller in SQFlash has the ability to judge if the last programming page is fully processed and can handle incomplete pages to avoid read / write errors after power has been restored.

Industrial Production Process

Every SQFlash is produced with a series of testing and screening procedures. The testing scope covers both electronic and mechanical quality to ensure robustness and reliability from component level to module assembly.

Software Security Features

SQFlash is not just a simple hardware module, but a product designed with the concept of a total storage solution. For example, a series of security mechanisms has been developed to fulfil industrial applications which require data and software protection in order to prevent illegal access.
